[edit]
How to use suspend to disk or RAM with the binary NVidia driversTo use suspend with the binary only driver for NVidia graphics cards, you need to take some extra precautions. Note that this apparently does not work on all NVidia graphics chipsets, YMMV: [edit]
Install NVidia driversDownload the NVidia driver with Yast Online Update, configure the card for 3D with sax2. You might need a fairly recent version of the NVidia driver, I tested with version 1.0.7167. Reading Stefan Dirsch's nvidia-installer-howto is highly recommended. [edit]
Enable NvAGPPut the line Option "NvAGP" "1" in the "Device" section, after the line 'Vendor Name "NVidia"' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf If you're on a x86_64 System, agpgart is statically linked into the Kernel. This means you have to deactivate agpgart at boot time. Simply add the "agp=off" kernel parameter to /boot/grub/menu.lst. [edit]
Prevent vendor AGP modules from being loaded.[edit]
SUSE 9.3 and olderRemove any reference to the AGP modules from /etc/sysconfig/hardware: # cd /etc/sysconfig/hardware # grep agp * hwcfg-vpid-8086-3340:MODULE_0='intel_agp' Now edit the file found with the grep command (here: hwcfg-vpid-8086-3340) and change "STARTMODE='auto'" to "STARTMODE='manual'". You might also want to remove the line "# HOTPLUG-FLAG: autocreated" to make this configuration persist future updates. [edit]
SUSE 10.0Find out which agp module is currently loaded by running # lsmod | grep agp Typical names are intel_agp, sis_agp, via_agp etc. Please ignore agpgart here. Mark this agp module as blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.conf.local. Example: # blacklist agp module blacklist intel_agp Note: /etc/hotplug/blacklist is still there to do the same but will be deprecated soon. [edit]
Reboot and checkReboot and make sure that the agp module is no longer loaded by running # lsmod | grep agp again. There should be no vendor_agp module (e.g. intel_agp, sis_agp,...) listed, except "agpgart". Note: AGP support will only work with chipsets, which are supported by the nvidia kernel module. Otherwise AGP support will be disabled! Check this with "cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status". If there is no line "Status: Enabled", then AGP support is not available. The graphics card will work without AGP, but performance will be bad. During suspend to disk, when the drivers get suspended, the display is switched off (and on notebooks this means also the backlight) but it is not switched back on when the drivers are resumed to write the image. This means that you will not see any progress indicator during suspend and if suspend fails (it should not :-) you will not see any error. There is not much we can do about this right now, just wait until the disk stops writing and the machine turns itself off. After resume from suspend, the driver is resumed correctly and the display and backlight is turned back on. This was tested on a SONY VAIO PCG-GRT995MP and a Dell D800 with both suspend to disk and RAM. It did not work on an older Dell Inspiron 8200. -- seife 04:40, 22 May 2005 (PDT) [edit]
FeedbackWorked here with a Inspiron 8600 Bios A13 and Suspend to Disk. RAM untested. Jens Kühnel Suspend to RAM worked on a Compal EFL30 notebook, SUSE 9.3. Suspend to Disk untested. D. Hurst Suspend to Disk worked on a Toshiba Satellite 5200-903 with SUSE 10.0 after changing SUSPEND2DISK_SHUTDOWN_MODE to "shutdown" in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/sleep. Suspend to RAM works fine. K. Becker My Dell D800 resumes after suspend-to-ram, but the screen goes white. Using vga=normal, suspending from text mode, nothing helps. The only solution is to ctrl-alt-backspace the X server so kdm restarts it. This works, but of course all open programs are gone :( -- Mark van Reijn, Novell It completely fails on a DELL Dimension 4400 with nVidia GeForce 2, where the system tries to suspend and hangs with a black screen and a flashing power led. It properly suspend on a DELL Inspiron 8600c (A14 bios), but when resumed, GNOME is not restored and the GDM screen is proposed. At the login, the message "Another panel is running" is shows and the menus aren't loaded, requiring a reboot. --Alberto Passalacqua Fails on Sony VGN-S560P. Followed the instructions above for SUSE 10, but (1) there's no /proc/driver/nvidia/agp directory at all (/proc/driver/nvidia/version reads "NVRM version: NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-7676 Fri Jul 29 12:58:54 PDT 2005" in its first line - /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0 says Model: GeForce Go 6400 Video BIOS: 05.44.02.35.07, Card Type: PCI-E), and (2) suspend to disk works, but doesn't restore video upon bootup.--Ed Reed, Reed-Matthews, Inc. 9.3 (Kernel 2.6.11.4-21.12) on Dell Inspiron 8600 (GeForce FX Go5650 rev 161), NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762 Suspend 2 RAM works great here. I added "options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1" to /etc/modprobe.conf.local according to another hint. Don't know if this is really nessesary. Suspend 2 Disk not tested. 10.0 (Kernel 2.6.13-15.13) on an older Dell Dimension XPSB733r 128 MB RDRAM (Trident Viper V770 32-bit) NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174 Followed the instructions from above. The intel-agp blacklisted and 'Option "NvAGP" "3" Option "NoLogo" "True". In addition, I added Option "Composite" "Enable" to Section "Extensions". Works great! However, 256 MB of RDRAM needs to be added to 128 MB of RDRAM to support translucency. I hope this helps with users using older graphics cards that require legacy driver support. -- Roman Bysh :-) 21.02.2007 10.1 (Kernel 2.6.16.13-4), GeForce 6800 Version 8762 works for me with intel_agp blacklisted plus 'Option "NvAGP" "1"' in xorg.conf. No changes to the kernel command line in GRUP were neccessary for me. Fails with 8756 during suspend (hangs after screen goes blank). Version 8174 doesn't compile anymore. Version 7174 with the patch mentioned in the section "Legacy chipset support" of NVIDIA works when you do this:
PS: Just in case, you're wondering why it stops working after a real shutdown (ie. logout and fresh restart instead of suspending):
This makes sure that even after a cold reboot, the necessary device files are there. The installer will create them and you won't notice anything wrong when you suspend. But after a real reboot, the device files will be gone and the card will have stopped working mysteriously. Hope that helps -- Aaron Digulla, 24.06.2006 10.1 on Dell D800 (GForce FX Go5650) with NVIDIA 8756 - suspend2disk works out of the box, without any option like NvAGP or blacklisting intel_agp. - suspend2ram doesn't work. I tried every option and a mix of differrent options (NvAGP, blacklist intel_agp, acpi_sleep=..., vga=normal) but nothing works.

S2RAM is not supported on my system. (system is 4 years old, pentium 4 northwood @ 2.4 GHz) I would like to say that this howto is working with Suse 10.3 (Asus PE PRO Sis645 Nvidia mx440) 10.3 i686 on Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad T61 , bios 2.07, Graphic Quadro NVS 140M with install binary Nvidia Driver 169.07 Suspend to ram: 1.add intel_agp module as blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.conf. / check lsmod|grep intel_agp / 2.

Overview for Dell M4300Using 2.6.24.2/.3 kernels, I've been able to get my Dell M4300 to s2ram and s2disk. s2disk didn't require the 2.6.24.X kernel; I was able to use the stock openSUSE 10.3 kernel. The only way to consistently get s2ram to work is to switch off the wireless and Blue Tooth card using the slider on the left side of the laptop. I tried playing with the BIOS settings to only control one or the other wireless card but the only way to get s2ram to work consistently is to control them both with the slider. s2ram sleeps the machine extremely quick when there's minimal disk activity (exception, zypper running :) One nice thing about using 2.6.24.X is I'm able to hot-swap in my modular bay my second battery with my CD/DVD recorder. [edit]
s2ramVia the BIOS, ensure laptop's slider controls both BlueTooth (bt) card (if installed) and wireless NIC. To s2ram:
To resume:
Note: if the slider is turned on before resuming, the kernel will not see the Bluetooth device. All is not lost, you can slide the slider off, then on once the machine is running to get the Bluetooth device recognized. [edit]
s2diskThere is no need to switch off the Bluetooth card or wirelss card via the switch:
[edit]
Setup- Graphics Driver I used the driver from the nVidia site (www.nvidia.com). s2ram works successfully with both 169.09 and 169.12. - /etc/X11/xorg.conf - relevant section Section "Device" BoardName "Quadro FX 360M" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" VendorName "NVidia" Option "NoLogo" Option "DPMS" "0" Option "NvAGP" "1" Option "RenderAccel" "true" Option "backingrestore" "true" Option "UseEdiDpi" "0" Option "DPI" "96 x 96" EndSection - /etc/modprobe.conf.local blacklist intel_agp - /boot/grub/menu.lst - added `agp=off' to `kernel' line; `nohz=off' is for my VirtualBox VM kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24.3-bigsmp root=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Hitachi_HTS7220070703DP0C00DSG0R3YA-part1 vga=0x346 resume=/dev/sda5 showopts nohz=off agp=off - Kernel - 2.24.2 and 2.24.3 Downloaded from www.kernel.org - as there's no way to upload my .config, if there's demand, I'll place it on my server. - /etc/pm/config.d/dell-m4300 - name not relevant, `chmod +x dell-m4300' # Although SuSE defaults to userspace, let's be explicit # HIBERNATE_METHOD="userspace" # # Force because Dell M4300 is not in the white-list # # Note: without the -p and -s, the GPU would run _very_ hot when returning from s2ram # S2RAM_OPTS="-f -p -s" # # We need the following in order to s2ram # DISPLAY_QUIRK_VBE_POST=false 11.0 on Samsung X30 WVC1500 (21.06.2008) In /etc/X11/xorg.conf add: Option "NvAGP" "1" In /etc/modprobe.conf.local: blacklist intel_agp then i created the file "/etc/pm/config.d/s2ram" with the line S2RAM_OPTS="-f" and made it executable. again i created a file "/etc/pm/config.d/display_restart" /usr/sbin/vbetool dpms off /usr/sbin/vbetool dpms on and made it executable. i am happy to hear some improvements if any exist.
